At the entrance of the 'Lao Zhang Ji Hotel', the swarthy man surnamed Lu was anxious to deal with the incoming customers, and on the other hand, he was impatient and looked at the four directions, staring at the dense crowd. His eyes were straight as if he was going to eat someone, and the usual noisy crowd of people had quieted down a lot today....

Suddenly, his eyes fell on a figure who was hurrying over, and shouted with great joy, "Brother Lin, Brother Lin." Immediately after Li Jing approached, he complained again, "Why are you only here now?" My daughter-in-law has been looking for you several times, but I haven't seen you. ”

Li quietly wiped his sweat, this dry night screamed and walked for more than half an hour, his throat seemed to be on fire, and he said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "I'm sorry.... Brother Lu. It's just that the noise in the crowd covered a lot of his voice, for fear that the man surnamed Lu wouldn't be able to listen, Li Jingjing had to raise his hoarse voice by a few decibels, and then shouted again, "I'm sorry Brother Lu, I'm working overtime today." ”

Li Jing's tired face after a busy day's work has been in full view since the morning. So he didn't bring any anger, but he made an appointment to meet at 8 o'clock, and he was 20 minutes late, which made a bad first impression, how could there be a man who was late for the first blind date?—— or this dress...

"Has Xiao Nan been sent home?" Li Jingjing looked inside.

"Home. I brought her a toy to play with, and when there are fewer people later, my daughter-in-law will help you watch Xiaonan. The man surnamed Lu quickly put soup on the bowl at hand, brought it to one of the tables, loaded the food and handed it over, asked about the request of the next customer, a spoonful of oil rolled down, 'Zi', the smell of oil came to his nose, so that Li Jing couldn't help swallowing his saliva, from noon to now, he was tired, and he didn't eat a bite of rice....

The man surnamed Lu buried his head in the stir-fry, and said loudly, "Brother Lin, do you want to take a bath? My relative is waiting on the second floor of my house..."

Li Jing smiled embarrassedly, "Forget it, Brother Lu, it's not good to make people wait again, it's so late for so long to take a bath, doesn't this make a worse impression?"

The man surnamed Lu was silent, and then stir-fried the rice in the pot and said, "That's it." He glanced at the mother-in-law who was also greeting other guests, who brought a pot of vegetables, wiped the oil stains on his hands on the red and white plaid apron in front of him that was full of black stains due to the precipitation of time, and said to Li Jing gently, "Xiaolin, you come with me." ”

In her hurried footsteps, Li Jing followed.

Similar to the situation of a blind date conversation in a restaurant or a secluded private room in a restaurant, Li Jing breathed a sigh of relief. How much does it cost to spend in that kind of place? He wouldn't accept it. A decade or so ago, machismo was much more elaborate than it was later.

Stepping on the uneven staircase made of cement on the second floor of the hotel, the woman surnamed Zhang turned on the wall lamp to illuminate the dim corridor, and was about to follow forward, when she suddenly spoke, "Xiaolin, you asked Lao Lu about your part-time job last night, right?"

Li Jing nodded, "Yes." After answering, he smiled dryly, "If you don't have eyebrows, you don't have to bother too much, I can find it myself." I'm not in a hurry..."

The woman surnamed Zhang smiled kindly, and began to step up, "Yesterday, Lao Lu made some phone calls to ask you, but I found one through a friend." Speaking of this, she turned her head to see Li Jingjing's stunned and then ecstatic face, and chuckled, "You are diligent, willing to endure hardships, people are really good, but you also have to pay attention, how can money be important to the body?"

She knew that it was redundant, but she still persuaded her more, and then said, "It would be good if you and our relatives could negotiate." After that, he introduced, "That part-time job, it's a bead stringing job." The beads are a few dollars a string of the kind you usually see sold in the small street stalls, and some of them are dozens or hundreds of dollars, and they are strung with rope and worn on their hands and necks. If you want to do it, Lao Lu will go and talk about it, and then they will hand over the materials to you, and you can take them home to skewer. A string of two cents, a string of beads has what to ask for, I will tell you at that time. ”

"Good, good, good. Thank you, Sister Zhang. Li Jinglian nodded, I don't know if it is good to work or talk about blind dates..... But those tired eyes were already full of excitement.

....

The blind date is in the small living room on the second floor.

Compared with the first floor, the rough mud walls and stiff stools and chairs, as well as the empty decoration with few furnishings, are indeed a lot colder. Fortunately, it was clean, and the noise of customers downstairs was inaudible. Naturally, there is something wrong with the way we meet in such a place, but these are not young men and women who are ignorant of the world, and it doesn't hurt to be simple. And the woman surnamed Zhang, who sent Li Jing up, only said, 'You can sit down casually, have a good chat' and retreated.

Li Jing was sitting upright on the chair in front of him, watching seriously the replay of the TV series 'Huanzhu Gege', a woman of his age. Naturally, there is no such possibility as Li Jingjing fantasizes that 'it may be a beautiful beauty'. It's not good-looking, it's more appropriate to describe it as a little ordinary. And a pair of slightly thin curved eyebrows give her the first impression of 'easy to talk and mild-tempered'.

Also, beautiful beauties, who will go on a blind date with themselves!

At the same time, she also looked at Li Jingjing.

"I'm sorry, I just got off work and I'm late. After looking at each other for seven or eight seconds, Li Jing felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, he didn't know what to say, after thinking about it, he broke the silence first, then wiped the stool, and sat not far from the woman.

"I've just arrived. She did look good-natured, and smiled kindly, "Your name is Lin Ye, right, I heard my sister talk about your name." My name is Maggie Cheung. ”

Li Jingjing found that she didn't seem to be a talkative person, and after her friendly and simple reply, Li Jingjing, who was not good at words, didn't know how to find a topic from it.

Li Jingjing didn't say that he had gone on a blind date, he didn't even know much about the blind date process, he came so if he didn't know anything, and he didn't prepare for the wording and development process, but he passed the nervousness and overwhelm.

"You are.... What are you doing?" Maggie Cheung broke the silence.

"I work in a factory, a suburban Nahongda carton factory. Li Jing said truthfully, and he didn't forget to add some topics: "What about you?"

"I got a grocery store. Maggie Cheung replied, and then asked curiously, "The suburbs are quite far away, right?"

"Yes, it's a long way, it's a 40-minute walk. ”

"Oh...."

The two fell silent again.

"You've been a month... How much does it cost?" she asked again.

"Now it's 700 a month. Li quietly replied, and then he added, "There are 900 after the regularization." ”

"Hear my sister say you have a daughter, right?"

"Yes. Mentioning Xiao Nan Li smiled quietly and happily, "5 years old, I'm going to study soon." ”

seems to have known Li Jingjing's situation, Maggie Cheung then asked only about some things that the couple surnamed Lu did not know, and then age, household registration, etc., the two asked and answered, and there was no pleasant topic, Li Jingjing felt that he didn't even have the sense of relaxed communication with Feng Qiong and Li Zhenguo when they met for the first time, but there was still some estrangement...

"Have you eaten?" Maggie Cheung said suddenly, "Didn't you just get off work?"

"I've eaten it in the factory. Li quietly shook his head. He knew that he was stingy like this, and he wouldn't say that he hadn't eaten anyway, maybe he was going out to eat, and he had to spend money on a treat!

"I find you, like me, not very good at talking. Maggie Cheung smiled, "My sister, they can praise you in my place, saying that you are a good person, everything is good...."She stopped when she said this, making Li Jing a little blind, what about the next words?

After a pause for a few seconds, seeing no reply after that, Li Jing scratched his head quietly, "Sister Zhang, they are boasting...", and then the atmosphere fell into stiffness again.

After a long time, she suddenly took out her mobile phone, looked at the time, frowned, and said, "I've been out for a long time, I have to go back, otherwise my son will cry." Leave a contact information?"

Li Jing laughed dryly, "I don't have a mobile phone." ”

He was sure that he couldn't come to the blind date, and eighty percent of it was blown... Aren't people looking for an excuse to leave?
